The Raspberry Pi Camera Module v2 replaced the original Camera Module in April 2016. The v2 Camera Module has a Sony IMX219 8-megapixel sensor (compared to the 5-megapixel OmniVision OV5647 sensor of the original camera).
The Camera Module can be used to take high-definition video, as well as stills photographs. It’s easy to use for beginners, but has plenty to offer advanced users if you’re looking to expand your knowledge. There are lots of examples online of people using it for time-lapse, slow-motion, and other video cleverness. You can also use the libraries we bundle with the camera to create effects.
You can read all the gory details about IMX219 and the Exmor R back-illuminated sensor architecture on Sony’s website, but suffice to say this is more than just a resolution upgrade: it’s a leap forward in image quality, colour fidelity, and low-light performance. It supports 1080p30, 720p60 and VGA90 video modes, as well as still capture. It attaches via a 15cm ribbon cable to the CSI port on the Raspberry Pi.
The camera works with all models of Raspberry Pi 1, 2, and 3. It can be accessed through the MMAL and V4L APIs, and there are numerous third-party libraries built for it, including the Picamera Python library. See the Getting Started with Picamera resource to learn how to use it.
The camera module is very popular in home security applications, and in wildlife camera traps.
Case is nice and sturdy all ports are perfectly aligned it has enough room for hat , especially if you want use Geekworm X1002 PCIe to M.2 2280 hat for nvme.
The only thing is missing is heat dissipation cut outs on the top of the case , If it has heat dissipation holes on the top it will be much better however case is having many cutout on the front bottom and right side but , for active cooler to release instant heat top side cutout will be much better .
Next thing it will be better If it comes with rubber feet so that in case we don't want to mount on wall we can place on table little bit risen up from the surface.
It comes with rail mount and wall mount which is very good.
with offical RPI5 active cooler and if cooler is not running (only passive heat release)the ideal temp of pi 5 stays around 53 degree Celsius when room's ambient temperature is around 18 degrees , and its running on raspberry pi os .
what will be the temp. on summers that i yet to experience.
